From arriving at the property and greeted by Mike with a platter and fresh eggs from Lizzie through till we departed we were completely spoilt by the surroundings and the accommodation.
Peace and quiet with a roaring fire and loads of books and DVDs to watch was just what we needed.
We will be recommending this special place to all our friends and family.

We enjoyed the farm like setting and the amenities. We were only 5 minutes from town and the Spa pools.
The host Mike was very welcoming and accommodating. We enjoyed a lovely appy tray and fresh eggs and dairy products from the fridge.
The only thing missing was Wifi.
In all a very enjoyable, peaceful stay.

The cottage was very comfortable and extremely well appointed. We appreciated the wonderful welcome - log burner ablaze and a lovely platter of nibbles, along with fresh eggs and other goodies. The property is so private and quiet and gave us the much-needed opportunity to relax and feel refreshed. The hosts are very kind and helpful. Cannot recommend this accommodation highly enough.

Exceeded expectations. A tranquil setting yet 5 minutes from Hamner Centre.
The log fire burning & surprise platter and farm fresh eggs in fridge on arrival give this property a real personal & professional touch.
Allowing us to bring our small dog was a real bonus.
Caint wait for the opportunity to book this property again for a winter break. Kind Regards Leonie

The batch is in a beautiful location, nestled in a little forest with a gorgeous view of the mountains surrounding Hanmer. We were greeted and shown around then sat down with a large cheese platter they made for us on arrival. I had a nice peaceful stay and we had everything we needed. Fresh eggs, milk and they even cleaned up our place half way through our stay. I Highly recommend staying here, if anywhere, when staying in Hanmer Springs.
